Vijay's next movie with Atlee Kumar will be reportedly bigger than their previous movie Theri. It is because the upcoming flick is likely to be shot in the US.

The hunt for good locations is on in the US and there is a strong possibility that a majority of the film will be shot in the country, say reports. The makers of the movie had recently confirmed that shooting will start in February.

On the other hand, the makers have reportedly approached two-time Oscar Award winning musician AR Rahman to compose songs for the film, which is presently being referred to as Vijay 61. It may be recalled that Rahman had earlier teamed up with Vijay in Udaya and Azhagiya Tamizh Magan and the audios have turned out to be hits.

When it comes to the heroine, the makers have reportedly approached Nayanthara. But there is no confirmation on whether she has accepted or rejected the offer.

Atlee and Vijay's previous movie Theri was successful at the box office. Hence, there is a good amount of expectations riding on their next project.

Vijay's Bairavaa

The shooting of Vijay's forthcoming movie Bairavaa was recently completed and it is now getting ready for release. Currently, the post-production works are on and it is expected to be completed in the next few weeks.

Bairavaa is written and directed by Bharathan and produced by Vijaya Productions. Keerthy Suresh plays the female lead in the flick, which has Jagapathi Babu in the role of a villain. It will hit the screens in January 2017.

Meanwhile, Vijay will be leaving for a trip with his family members. He is expected to celebrate Christmas abroad.
